Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to systems and methods for the anaerobic digestion of organic waste.
  • Anaerobic digestion is a natural process in which bacteria break down organic matter in an oxygen-free environment to form biogas and digestate.
  • a broad range of organic inputs can be used including manure, food waste, and sewage, with the composition being determined by the industry, agriculture, industrial, wastewater treatment, or others.
  • Anaerobic digesters can be designed for either mesophilic or thermophilic operation - at 35°C (95°F) or 55°C (131 °F), respectively. Temperatures are commonly regulated during the digestion process to keep the mesophilic or thermophilic bacteria alive.
  • the resulting biogas is combustible and can be used for heating and electricity generation, or can be upgraded to renewable natural gas and used to power vehicles or supplement the natural gas supply.
  • the resultant digested waste can be sold or used as fertilizer.
  • Anaerobic digestion, or decomposition occurs in three stages.
  • the first stage consists of hydrolysis and acidogenesis, where enzyme secreting bacteria convert polymers into monomers like glucose and amino acids and then these monomers are transformed into higher volatile fatty acids.
  • the second stage is acetogenesis, in which bacteria called acetogens convert these fatty acids into hydrogen (H 2 ), C0 2 , and acetic acid.
  • the final stage is methanogenesis, where bacteria called methanogens use H 2 , C0 2 , and acetate to produce biogas, which is around 55-70 percent methane (CH 4 ) and 30-45 percent C0 2 .
  • the present invention includes an anaerobic digester to produce methane gas from organic waste such as compost and animal manure.
  • the anaerobic digester preferably includes a reactor vessel having at least one opening for input and discharge of the organic waste, an auger for turning the organic waste, a solar concentrator and an RF emitter.
  • the reactor vessel may also include a heating tube which contains a liquid such as a mixture of water and antifreeze in a closed system.
  • the heating tube may be in fluid communication with a reservoir and a solar collector used to heat the liquid which is then circulated through the heating tube.
  • a pump may be used both to evacuate air from the reactor vessel and to pump out the gasses (including methane) evolved from the organic waste.
  • the reactor vessel may be loaded from the top with organic waste such as compost or animal manure, sealed and evacuated during which the waste may be subject to focused light energy and/or subject to RF Energy from the RF emitter in order to heat up the organic waste to facilitate anaerobic digestion. Then once digestion of the organic waste is completed, the interior of the reactor vessel is evacuated with an auger turning out the resultant waste solids. An enzyme catalyst may also be added to the organic waste to further facilitate anaerobic digestion. Methane gas produced as a result of anaerobic digestion is pumped from the reactor vessel and collected, scrubbed for impurities, and stored for further processing. As a result, a supply of methane gas is provided which may be burned for energy and/or heat.

Abstract

cette invention concerne un digesteur anaérobie utilisé pour produire du gaz méthane à partir de fumier de ferme. Le digesteur anaérobie comporte de préférence une cuve de réaction équipée d'un concentrateur solaire et d'un émetteur RF. La cuve de réaction peut être chargée par le haut avec le fumier de ferme, être scellée et évacuée tout en étant soumise à de la lumière concentrée et/ou à de l'énergie RF provenant de l'émetteur RF pour faciliter la digestion aérobie ; la cuve peut ensuite être vidée et nettoyée à l'aide d'une vis qui retourne les déchets solides résultants. Un catalyseur enzymatique peut aussi être utilisé pour accélérer la digestion anaérobie. Le gaz méthane produit par la digestion anaérobie est extrait de la cuve de réaction par aspiration, et recueilli pour être ensuite traité et/ou brûlé pour obtenir de l'énergie et/ou de la chaleur.
